Enes Kanter 'Taps' Erdogan: 'Spreads Hatred Towards Greece and Cyprus'

Enes Kanter Freedom accuses Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of “spreading hatred” in the region, targeting Greece, Cyprus, Armenia and the Kurds. Kanter, a former NBA star and now a US citizen, states that Erdogan’s rhetoric cultivates tension between peoples and expresses fears of a possible Turkish invasion of Greece. He talks about his life as wanted by Interpol, the threats he receives and the personal cost of his conflict with the Turkish regime, while Archbishop Ieronymos II of Athens prefaces his book. Kanter states that he is considering a future political career in the US and that his struggle concerns the defense of human rights.
